Extra Brut
Variety: 42% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot noir, 18% Meunie.
Vinification: Created from Perpetual Reserve and reserve wines aged in French oak, complemented by the best hits of the 2018 harvest. Collection 243 is connected to the roots of Champagne and the foundations of the Louis Roeder house with its location.
Characteristics: Bright, golden hue with shimmering highlights. My fine, vivacious one with lingering threads of bubbles. The bouquet is open and rich but also wonderfully fresh. It offers a burst of ripe, delicate fruit with bold notes of yellow fruit (Mirabelle plum) from the Pinot noir complemented by sweet citrus (lemon meringue pie) and subtle white floral notes (jasmine) from the Chardonnay. The nose opens up to reveal unique characters and evolves into smoky, roasted notes and freshly baked pastries. The palate is deep and dense with a long, well-structured backbone. Its texture is enchanting with a fleshy mouthfeel from the Pinot noir enveloping the palate before giving way to an incredible salty freshness with a pleasant hint of bitterness. This wine combines the strength, intensity and power of the delightfully ripe Pinot noir balanced to perfection by the chalky freshness and density of the Chardonnay that forms the majority of its composition. The collection has all its warmth and generosity thanks to the perfect ripeness of the fruit in 2018, but it is the freshness, energy and complexity of the 'Réserve Perpétuelle' created in 2012, as well as the texture imparted by the oak ageing. , which expand and lengthen the body of the wines resulting in unparalleled finesse and persistence.
